    Hmmmm, it depends on the seriousness of your transgression.....fess up then!! :p

    I am very proud of myself today and just wanted to boast a bit as OH isn't interested in the slightest - I didn't use my Boots £5 skincare voucher, I binned it. A simple thing I know, but it's a massive deal for me. In the past I have always used them purely because it felt like I was throwing £5 away otherwise. Hence why I have a stockpile of unused skincare........ :embarasse
    Time may be a great healer, but it's a lousy beautician.... :/

    OK.

    nars orgasm blusher: the cream stick...very versitile. Replacing my powder of the same which just shows every imperfection on the skin. Its a colour I will wear almost every day.

    and:

    anewredlipstickandaredblushercalled''cactusflower''whichissobeautifulI'dhave soldmysoultoownit.

    £66.

    On the plus side I did get a HUGE goody bag....like we need it :rotfl:including a full size body lotion. and I resisted the foundation, so....sort of good, huh? (I would have lapsed but hearing a few of you rave about Dior I thought I'd get samples of like that, as instructed yesterday here and not buy yet...)

    I stopped trying to keep up with this thread because it went too fast for me to stay on top of it, so I'm 65 pages behind. :rotfl:

    Has anything significant happened with anyone that they care to update me on? :p

    I've been good on the toiletries front. Not so good on the chocolate side though.. Ate a whole 400g box in 2 days, dayaaaam. :(

    I know its a lot for three things (plus the goody bag). But its within my affordabilty and they are three things I will use. I think also, that I'd rather have three products which answer my needs than 333 for he same price clogging up the show here.:o
